Terrorist

The Resume

    (circa 1960- )
    Member of SHAC
    Labelled a terrorist by the FBI
    Founder of Animal Liberation Front (ALF)
    Member of the Sea Shepard Conservation Society (November 1986)

Why he might be annoying:

    The FBI classifies the Animal Liberation Front as 'America's most dangerous domestic terrorism threat.'
    PeTA gave him $70,400 in grants.
    He was instrumental in sinking two whaling ships at Reykjavik, Iceland (1986).
    He fled an arrest warrant in Vancouver (1987).
    He fire bombed a Michigan State University research laboratory (1992).
    He justified firebombing Michigan State University as taking the gun out of the hands of someone ready to use it.
    As an FBI fugitive, he hid out on an Indian reservation (1993).
    He is a vegetarian. But, when he was a fugitive, he admits that he was unable to live the vegetarian lifestyle and had to dine on animal flesh.
    Prior to sentencing for the fire bombing at Michigan State, he stated: 'I have gone from the most vocal proponent to now an open opponent of the ALF. My actions were illegal, radical and extreme and caused great pain to others.' In jail he retracted that statement (1995).
    He boasted in a speech to at least half a dozen acts of arson in what he labeled 'Operation Bite Back' (November 30, 2002).
    He lectures college students on how to construct firebombs out of easily available materials.
    He described his philosophy that 'It's based on one that sees all other living beings and aspects of nature, including plants, animals and rocks, as just as important as all others. My family raised me to believe that not only humans but all living beings and natural things deserve respect.'
    He claimed coyotes approached his prison to howl greetings to him.
    He claims fire is a cleansing agent and if people get hurt that it is the same as people hurting animals.
    He told EarthFirst! 'The ALF or ELF will never be hailed as heroes in our time. Their roles will be seen more clearly in 100 years.'
    He advises activists to 'never use your own vehicle or those of other activists.'
    He calls for 'Maximum destruction! Not minimum damage.'
    He uses the guise of being an environmentalist to set fires.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He served nearly five years in jail for the fire bombing of Michigan State University.
    He believes his activism is a religious experience.
    He is an environmentalist.
